“…The result is consistent with Monleon who reported that a light aerobic exercise would alleviate the possible negative effects of sleep disturbances on psychomotor tasks (16). Besides, it has been well-documented that exercise can be considered as a non-invasive method leading to optimal status of sleep quality (19,20). According to a study, sleep loss can affect pre-frontal cortex metabolism, which negatively impairs the executive functions (21).…”

Objectives:As negative consequences of sleep disturbances on cognitive performance in all age groups are well documented the study was aimed at identifying the effect of Yoga practices on selective attention of collegiate athletes following short-term sleep deprivation. Methods: Nineteen collegiate athletes were recruited in a cross-over design in two phases. In the control condition, their attention was measured after short-term sleep deprivation (6 hours), then, they were given Yoga exercises within a one week washout phase. The posttest was performed following a one week Yoga intervention (experimental condition). The quality of sleep was measured by Actiwatch Sleep Analysis in the washout phase (a 7-day period), and the total score was obtained based on their performance in the last three days. The subjects wore an Actiwatch-7 on their non-dominant wrist for seven consecutive days. In the experimental condition, they attended exercise physiology and were tested. Dependent t-tests was used to analyze the data. Results: The results indicated that Yoga protocol improved both subtests of selective attention significantly, including the mean time for correct responses (t = 4.98; P = 0.001) and the mean time for correct rejections (t = 3.73; P = 0.001). Furthermore, the total score of sleep quality within the last three days of the washout phase improved significantly in the Yoga condition (t = 2.68; P = 0.01). Conclusions: As known, sleep deprivation could result in poor psychomotor performance; hence, the Yoga exercise would attenuate the devastating consequences of sleep disorder in tasks needing decisions in individuals with such a problem. The results suggest that performing a Yoga exercise may play a major role in improving psychomotor performance in collegiate athletes who are vulnerable for sleep disturbances.

“…As shown in result section, there was also a decrease in WHR, PBF of exercise group after training intervention. This can be a logical reason for sleep improvement in experimental group as Taheri et.al (2017), Martin er al (2016) reported that fat mass decline especially internally is positively associated in better sleep quality (Martín et al, 2016;Taheri & Irandoust, 2017). In other words, decreasing the visceral fat of subjects can be effective in improvement of sleep indexes and consequently betterment of attention in the investigated subjects.…”

Based on the scientific evidences, aging process results in neurodegenerative processes with substantial loss of sensory, auditory, and vision which can affect the quality of sleep and psychomotor performance (Terpening et al., 2015). Problems with sleep tend to increase with aging. Research indicates that nearly 67% of the elderly people have at least one sleep-related complaint (Foley, Ancoli-Israel, Britz, & Walsh, 2004). According to the previous studies, those older people with regular strength training have more success in doing their daily lives, including personal works and independency (Arnold & Bautmans, 2014). In a study, Kirk-Sanchez and Mc Gough (2014) reported that regular physical activity in aged people, not only affects the physiological/metabolic pathways positively, but also lead to neuroprotective advantageous, and cognitive improvement (Kirk-Sanchez & McGough, 2014). Babaei (2013), Gorelick et al (2011) suggested that that strength exercises improve the cognitive capacities in older people (Babaei, Azali Alamdari, Soltani Tehrani, & Damirchi, 2013; Gorelick et al., 2011). Studies have shown that exercise, under certain conditions, may have

“…Some studies have focused on the sleep process in insomnia. Regular daytime exercise can increase melatonin secretion in and improve the sleep quality of patients with insomnia ( Taheri & Irandoust, 2018 ). Insomnia can also result in cognitive dysfunction because sleep may restore cognitive function and maintain attentional mechanisms ( Taheri & Arabameri, 2012 ).…”

BackgroundInsomnia is common. However, no systematic reviews have examined the effect of exercise on patients with primary and secondary insomnia, defined as both sleep disruption and daytime impairment. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to examine the effectiveness/efficacy of exercise in patients with insomnia.MethodsWe searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, and ClinicalTrials.gov to identify all randomized controlled trials that examined the effects of exercise on various sleep parameters in patients with insomnia. All participants were diagnosed with insomnia, using standard diagnostic criteria or predetermined criteria and standard measures. Data on outcome measures were subjected to meta-analyses using random-effects models. The Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool and Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation approach were used to assess the quality of the individual studies and the body of evidence, respectively.ResultsWe included nine studies with a total of 557 participants. According to the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (mean difference [MD], 2.87 points lower in the intervention group; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.95 points lower to 1.79 points lower; low-quality evidence) and the Insomnia Severity Index (MD, 3.22 points lower in the intervention group; 95% CI, 5.36 points lower to 1.07 points lower; very low-quality evidence), exercise was beneficial. However, exercise interventions were not associated with improved sleep efficiency (MD, 0.56% lower in the intervention group; 95% CI, 3.42% lower to 2.31% higher; moderate-quality evidence). Only four studies noted adverse effects. Most studies had a high or unclear risk of selection bias.DiscussionOur findings suggest that exercise can improve sleep quality without notable adverse effects. Most trials had a high risk of selection bias. Higher quality research is needed.
